    Stunning.

    Update to this story.


    (Weekly Standard) — President Barack Obama used the funeral for Hawaii senator Daniel Inouye to talk about himself. In the short 1,600 word speech, Obama used the word “my” 21 times, “me” 12 times, and “I” 30 times.

    Obama’s speech discussed how Inouye had gotten him interested in politics. “Danny was elected to the U.S. Senate when I was two years old,” he said.

    you'll be glad to know that my friends are responsible for Antoine Dotson. Not the creation of his physical being, but his being on the news..and then said news station exploiting him by pushing the over the top coverage into various social media forms in an effort to get him to go viral. It went quick. According to the camera man, you should have seen the red cowboy boots he was wearing.

    Not even kidding.

    Pelosi: My Support For Social Security Cuts “Was Really To Call The Bluff” Of Republicans…
    [​IMG]
    She is so full of **** I can see it coming out of her ears.


    WASHINGTON — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) upset progressives last month when, amid the fiscal cliff debate, she said she backed the idea of cutting Social Security benefits by changing the way inflation is calculated for recipients.

    But now Pelosi says she was bluffing, at least in part, to see how far Republicans would go in compromising on a deal.

    “It was really to call the bluff of the Republicans’ tactic,” Pelosi said during a small gathering with reporters on Friday. “At what figure will you raise taxes on the rich? At what place do you keep moving the goalpost on entitlements?”

    In the final weeks of fiscal cliff negotiations, President Barack Obama said he supported the idea of tying Social Security cost-of-living increases to a chained CPI, or chained Consumer Price Index. Social Security benefits are currently calculated by inflation rates. By changing the formula and instead calculating benefits with a chained CPI, the result would mean small cuts at first, but would eventually cost beneficiaries thousands of dollars over time, which is why Democrats have largely fought the idea.

    It wasn’t long before Pelosi had signaled she agreed with Obama on the issue, going as far as saying she viewed the cuts as “a strengthening of Social Security.” But on Friday, Pelosi recalled that even she wondered at the time why Obama put the idea on the table at first. She said she only learned of his plan to float the proposal just before he made the offer to Republicans.

    Via The Sun:


    Dramatic video shows the moment a politician survived an apparent assasination attempt during a televised speech in Bulgaria.

    Footage of the incident shows a crazed gunman jumping on stage and pointing a small black pistol close to Ahmed Dogan’s head.

    Mr Dogan – leader of Bulgaria’s Movement for Rights and Freedoms party – instinctively raises his arm in defence, but it appears the pistol fails to go off.

    The two men wrestle briefly beside the rostrum, before security staff race on stage and bundle the assailant to the floor amid loud boos from the audience.

    In the ensuing chaos, furious delegates and officials dressed in smart suits are seen raining punches and kicks down on the hapless assailant.
